Marvel EXILES

I just discoveed a Marvel Mutant book called 'Exiles' about X-Men from alternate dimensions that travel into 'What-If' like worlds and fix crap all Sliders like. This is both retarded and awesome. In doing some research I noticed that pretty much when a writer takes over this title they just bring in versions of mutants they like. There has been a 'War' Thunderbird, Nightcrawler's daughter, a female sasquatch and like 43 Wolverines. It all centers around the Blink from AOA. If you don't understand that last sentence...you are a cooler person than me. So I got to thinking...what team of six alternate X-Men would I choose if given the reigns of the Exiles. What I arrived at is this:

That is, from left to right:The Blob (Fred Dukes) from a world where Apocalypse turned him into Death from the Four HorsemenMister Sensitive (Guy Smith) from Earth 616 (before he died)Boom-Boom (Tabitha Smith) from a world where the Fallen Angels never disbandedBlink (Clarice Ferguson) from AoA ('natch)Maggott (Japheth) from a world where is was one of the founding members of a socially celebrated group of international superstar X-MenCyclops (Scott Summers) from a world where an immortal man named Nathaniel Essex created a sinister high-tech version of the X-men instead of Charles Xavier
